Good to Know Before You Book
Pet Policy
Up to 2 dogs are welcome with a $150 pet fee.

Smoking
Smoking is not permitted inside the cabin in order to preserve the freshness and comfort of the space for future guests.

EV Charger Information
This property does not offer an EV charging station. Nearby fast charging stations are available at Choctaw Casino.

Quiet Hours
Quiet hours are observed from 10 PM to 10 AM out of respect for neighboring cabins and the surrounding community. Sound travels easily throughout the forested mountain areas.

Nature & Environment
One of the most memorable parts of staying in a Broken Bow cabin is being surrounded by nature. Because this property is located in a wooded setting, guests may encounter wildlife and seasonal elements during your stay.

Deer, squirrels, raccoons, turkeys, and other native wildlife are commonly seen throughout the area. The cabin is professionally treated for pests, though occasional insects such as spiders, mosquitoes, beetles, ladybugs, or wasps may still appear, particularly during seasonal transitions or rain.

During spring months, pollen from surrounding pine trees may collect on outdoor surfaces despite cleaning efforts before arrival.

Keeping doors and screens closed whenever possible helps maintain a comfortable indoor environment throughout your stay.

We encourage guests to enjoy the peaceful surroundings while remaining respectful of neighboring cabins and the natural environment. Sound travels easily throughout the forested area.

What To Bring
We recommend bringing groceries, condiments, cooking oils and seasonings, personal toiletries, coffee and creamers, bug spray for mosquitoes and ticks, ice, and firewood with fire starters for the outdoor firepit.

Housekeeping provides a limited starter supply of essential items, including:

- Toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags
- Hand soap, dish soap, and cleaning supplies
- Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash
- Dishwasher pods and laundry detergent
- Coffee supplies (pods, grounds, filters, creamer, sugar)
- Hot tub chlorine for guest use as directed

These items are intended to get your stay started and are not restocked.

WiFi Disclaimer
WiFi is provided as a convenience only and is not considered an essential service of the property. Because cabins are located in rural wooded areas, connectivity and speeds may vary due to weather conditions or regional outages.

Amazing time

Our family & friends had a great time. We had 11 in our party and the accommodations were perfect!! Listing didn't note the 2 miles of unpaved roads to get there or that one of the king beds/bathroom was separated from the main house. We had a few issues at check-in but they responded quickly to address them. Once on the main road, it was close to everything! If we take a big group again, we'd definitely book again!

Not great. The hot tub was dirty from the time we got there we followed instruction on adding the chlorine and it never improved. I had to make everyone get out last night because it was so gross. There were boogers on all the top bunk rails and walls the dishwasher couldn't be fixed. The air hockey table couldn't be fixed. All the boxes of puzzles were mixed up with each other and strands of hair. A lot of the things that were advertised as amenities weren't up to par. in our opinion, it was a lot of money for a below average place.

Great stay

We had a wonderful stay at Playin by the Pond. Such a great house with every amenity you could want. We went fishing in the pond had s’mores by the fire pit played pickle ball and basketball swam in the creek cooked out burgers on the grill played video games and shuffle board. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for 3 families and the bathrooms were large and stocked with clean towels shampoo and body wash. Also close to town and all the restaurants and shops. Overall the house was perfect for our 4th of July stay!

Best Cabin Ever

Property was even better than pictures show. Family of 14 total had a comfortable place to sleep. We went for walks, played pickleball, shuffleboard was fun but we did need to level it a little with playing cards. Lots of room to spread out. Loved the many areas to sit on the porch and the automatic fireplaces made getting warm super easy. Would definitely recommend and return!

Awesome Stay at Treeline Cabin

We just got back from a fantastic stay at Playin' At The Pond in Broken Bow, and it was a blast! The place had everything we needed and more. We spent a ton of time on the basketball and pickleball courts – it was great having those right there. Plus, we even caught a fish in the pond, so yes, there are definitely fish in there! The whole setup was perfect for a chill and fun getaway. If you're looking for a cool spot to relax and have a good time, I’d definitely recommend this Treeline Vacation Rentals Cabin.

Great Time Had

The weekend was great! Check-in was seamless except the extended bedroom had a code that wasn’t given to me but one phone call and issue solved. The pond was stocked but small bass fish. They were so small that we threw them back in the pond. We followed the Check out process but it seemed as though we cleaned the place for the cleaners. Overall the place was very nice and relaxing. Game room was fun as well. . Be prepared for dirt roads in route to the cabin.

Lovely and Great cabin for family trip

I booked this cabin in October for July 2024 trip. I wanted to be sure to stay at this one. It has a separate King bedroom and bathroom for like a mother-in-law suite or grandma and grandpa suite. It is great. Has everything you need and also has so much available to enjoy the whole trip without leaving the area. All the games are great, Basketball, pickleball, fishing in pond, foosball, shuffleboard, arcade games, board games, puzzles and card games. Great appointments to the whole cabin. I recommend this cabin to anyone that wants family time with each other. Great for competitions in all games with several people.

Patriarch Birthday Bash Success

We loved our stay at "Playin at the Pond". Our family decided to spend a long weekend together for Pappy's 70th birthday. The kids loved the place. There was plenty of beds for everyone and plenty to do. In fact, the kids did not want to go to the state park. They just wanted to stay to play pickleball and basketball, air hockey and other games and they could not wait until dark to roast marshmallows for s'mores. We even took a few walks through the neighborhood and fished in the pond.Our only complaint was the roads to get there. There was a two mile rock road from the highway to the cabin and it was hard on our cars. Had we known ahead of time, we would have brought our trucks or jeeps.

Great house

Great house. It was fine for what we needed it for. The property was clean, the beds were nice, and the bathrooms were clean. My issue was the kitchen setup. It lacks several prep items, such as bowls and utensils, to cook with. It is not a well-stocked kitchen, and you would have difficulty cooking a full meal (as I did) if that is your plan. There are zero mixing bowls. 2 small stainless steel ones, and that's it. The towels in the bathrooms were of cheaper quality, a basic hotel towel. The rug in the living room is extremely dirty and stained; although the couch was comfortable, it was also stained in several areas. There was plenty of space inside the home. Unfortunately, I would not choose to stay here again. There are ample better cabins in Hocatown with better accommodations.
